I read books like 1984 and used to think what was the likelihood of some of the doublespeak actually occurring in real life. Then you have trump basically doublespeaking for all to see and it’s surreal to see so many just accept his blatant misleading. Shit is crazy.
Damn, you raw.
Self explanatory.

Don't waste your time. He is one of the folks who believe Covid is no worse than the flu, yet can't explain the worldwide spike in expected deaths, and can't keep himself out this thread to save his life.
I..got no words, hopefully only CACs will follow him like he is Jim Jones.
Dude is either lying his ass off or it’s your typical white male “I’m wrong so let me double down on being wrong.”
He ain’t got the heart (ha) to take this kind of risk.

State won't name nursing homes where seniors are dying because it's .... bad publicity?
Laurie Roberts, Arizona RepublicPublished 7:24 p.m. MT May 17, 2020 | Updated 9:27 a.m. MT May 18, 2020
Opinion: The state of Arizona's reasoning for not naming nursing homes where seniors are dying after contracting COVID-19 is truly astounding.

We now know why the state of Arizona doesn’t want you to find out which nursing homes have become pandemic death traps for some of Arizona’s most vulnerable residents.
Here’s a hint: It’s not about protecting grandma’s privacy.
It's about protecting business. Specifically, the increasingly big business that is America’s long-term care industry.
Our leaders have refused to identify which long-term care facilities are being ravaged by the novel coronavirus, In a court filing on Friday, the state actually cited the plight of Hacienda HealthCare as the justification for keeping the secret.
Hacienda, as you may recall, is the long-term care facility where an incapacitated young woman was raped, became pregnant and gave birth – all to apparent surprise of the people supposedly taking care of her.
A nurse at the facility was later criminally charged after his DNA matched the infant, born in late 2018.
The resulting publicity, the state points out, led to all manner of headaches for Hacienda, including significant staff turnover and the need for increased security.
"These issues threatened the facility’s viability, caused significant problems obtaining adequate insurance, and eventually forced Hacienda to close the skilled nursing portion of its operation due to financial problems," the state wrote, in its court brief.
This is how you justify the secret?
I can certainly see how having nurses who rape patients might not be great for business.
What I can’t quite understand: why the state thinks it’s a bad thing that the public found out what was going on at Hacienda.
Or how that, in any way, justifies keeping quiet about where most of Arizona’s coronavirus deaths are now occurring.
More than half of the Arizonans who have died after contracting COVID-19 are people who were living in nursing homes and assisted living centers. In Maricopa County, long-term care facilities thus far account for two-thirds of the deaths.
Yet the state refuses to tell us which long-term care facilities have been hit by the coronavirus.
First, Gov. Doug Ducey and state Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ contended that federal privacy laws barred them from identifying the long-term care facilities struck by the coronavirus.
Then, after 32 other states released the information, they claimed that state law requires them to protect patient privacy.
Ducey did eventually relent and at least require long-term care facilities to disclose outbreaks to the families of their residents and to people who apply to place a relative there.
Just who is the state really protecting?
As for the rest of us, the state says we aren’t entitled to know where this disease is hitting hard or whether it is in places with longstanding issues when it comes to patient care and oversight.
That’s why The Arizona Republic and four Valley television stations have sued the state for that information. We believe the public is entitled to know which facilities are being hit hard.
Nearly 70% of the nation’s nursing homes are owned by for-profit companies that are taking in massive amounts of public cash. Ducey already has given them added protections from lawsuits due to the coronavirus.
So why keep secret where people are dying?
In Friday’s filing, the state claims information collected "during a surveillance advisory" must be kept secret if it is likely to cause "substantial harm to the person's or business' competitive position."
"Public disclosure of the name or address of a congregate setting could lead to discrimination, stigmatization, retaliation, societal exclusion, and safety threats against all concerned," the state wrote.
By that reasoning, perhaps the state also should refrain from telling us which restaurants are making people sick due to poor sanitation practices.
Or which doctors are quacks or which businesses are in danger of losing their licenses.
It’ll be up Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury to decide whether Ducey and the state get away with keeping such important secrets.
Whether they can hide behind "patient privacy" when no one is asking who is dying but simply where they are dying -- and, in the end, whether their deaths were inevitable due to health issues or the result of substandard care.
Or put another way, whether the powerful long-term care industry should be protected from scrutiny because it’s bad for business.
